Can I install Big Sur using this?
Is there any way to install Big Sur using this method? Maybe by changing the script? Please let me know. Thanks.
checkout the Big Sur branch.
Can you please link where I could see the Big Sur branch? I can't see it, thanks.

Thanks I found some code regarding it, do you know if I can install MacOS Big Sur yet or is it still work in progress?
Issues that I see with this:
- The ESP is still using Clover, which doesn't have support for Big Sur, while OpenCore has proper Big Sur support.
- The fetch.sh script fails to fetch the Big Sur installer, because the product ID is invalid.
Here's my proposed tasklist:
- [ ] Replace the Clover-based ESP with OpenCore.
- [ ] Fix the fetch.sh script with the proper product ID.
* The fetch.sh script fails to fetch the Big Sur installer, because the product ID is invalid.
It is 001-51046.
Got Big Sur running inside QEMU with fork https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM Take quite some steps to get it installed and insist on installer but finally boots.
I also used OSX-KVM but this is incedibly slow. If I play a youtube video it is horrible with OSX-KVM. When using simple-KVM the video performance is much better. Furthermore with OSX-KVM there is now sound. Have you compared sound and video performance? If I try to use passthrough with OSX-KVM the mouse is not moving anymore. So I'm not sure if video performance is better in this case.

@superbonaci, what did you do to make it finally boot? I'm stuck in a never-ending installation loop...
@elg0ch0 I think I've selected ./fetch-macOS.py (not ./fetch-macOS-v2.py) and worked. If not, you can try installing Catalina then upgrade to Big Sur using system updates.

@superbonaci , thanks! I've found this and I'm trying to be mroe patient with "about and hour" or so that the process takes... In case it doesn't work I'll try either ./fetch-macOS.py or the Catalina upgrade option
Thanks a lot!
@elg0ch0 I recommend you placing the macOS-Simple-KVM folder on any SSD drive, doesn't have to be Linux, but 1.5h to 2h will take to upgrade and reboot several times. After reboot you select a new icon to appears to upgrade otherwise you fallback to same version. Then the icon disappears.

Very true, OSX-KVM big sur is very sluggish and hangs up multiple times

Any idea why it's so sluggish on OSX-KVM? Is it any better with macOS-Simple-KVM?
I got it sorta stopping glitching by copying some parts from this repo
I think you don't have properly installed qemu and its dependencies, specially on Arch based distros. On Ubuntu works better out of the box but on Arch you have to work it out.
I tried upgrading from within a Catalina instance and it crashed before completing. Also tried installing Big Sur fresh from the OSX-KVM fork and it seemed to be stuck at "15 minutes remaining" for a very long time -- should I expect it will eventually move forward? Has anyone found a reliable upgrade path and/or made progress on any of the performance issues? My main concern is that I'm not sure if Catalina is vulnerable to the FORCEDENTRY iMessages security hole which was recently patched in Big Sur.

If I’m already running a VM from this repo, is there an upgrade path to OSX-KVM? Or if it’s already installed and running, is there any reason to switch to OSX-KVM? Is this entire repo now deprecated?

I think everybody knows, but the fact that you cannot f4ck1ng create issues on that damn repo is the main reason why people ask questions in similar projects IMHO. I'm a 100% ok with the author not wanting to provide support, but damn at least give everybody else the freedom to help each other's: why closing the issues and wiki sections? In fact I am so tired of this that I've just forked it for the sole purpose of activating issues: https://github.com/darkbasic/OSX-KVM-issues/issues Probably nobody is going to find/use it, but next time I will have a problem I will document my findings there and everybody is welcome to do the same if they are willing to.
Wrong product ID for BS. can't fetch it.
